IMPROVEMENTIN CARPE T-LININGS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 153,922, dated August 11, 1874; ap lication filed April 15, 1874.

To. all whom it may concern Be it known that I, CHRISTOPHER AMAZUN, of Boston, Massachusetts, have invented an Improvement in Carpet-Linings, of which the following is a specification:

This invention relates to the class of carpet-linings made of batting sheathed in paper; and consists in a combination of the sewed and stuck linings in one and the same article, the bat being first quilted and then covered on both sides with paper cemented along the line of stitching.

Linings when the bat is cemented to the paper, if not closed along the edges, easily pull apart, being held only by the intermingled fibers of the bat. If closed along the edges with the flat of the paper cemented to the bat, they pull apart in the center and the bat wads up, and if only inclosed in a paper tube the bat is apt to become uneven.

Sewed linings are free from these objections,

but when sewed through all are liable to tear and to fill with dirt sifted through the holes of the paper.

The present invention then obviates both these objections by preserving the strength and continuity of the paper while the relation of the bat is unchangeable. In the drawing, Figure l is the plan of the new lining. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section along a line of quilting. Fig. 3 isa transverse section.

a a are the paper surfaces. 1) is the bat placed between. 0 are the lines of stitching set before the bat is covered with paper, and d d are the cement unions between the bat and paper covers along the lines of stitching.

I first take the bat and stitch it through from side to side, quilting it in any desired series of lines. I then take sheets of paper prepared with lines of paste at suitable intervals and lay the bat and pasted sheet together, so that the lines of paste coincide with the lines of quilting. These sheets of paper are to be applied on each side of the bat.

It is not in every instance necessary to paste all the lines of quilting to the paper, but it must be done' sufficiently to secure, at reasonable intervals, the paper surfaces to the lines of quilting, so asto make the relations of paper and bat permanent, and allow of no movement or rearrangement.

I therefore claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent A carpet-lining formed of quilted batting inclosed between two paper surfaces without holes in either surface, substantially as described.
